Bike rack install (2)
Had a little help last night from fellow brother and futurist Dave Hill. Actually, I had a lot of help. Look at Dave handlin’ that grinder (see below). Good Form. Workin’ on the bike rack installation at the Lab.

What a great weekend
Seriously, this past weekend was awesome. Unfortunately, I have no photo-documentation of any of the slurry of awesome events and experiences that took place. Nor do I have the energy to accurately and effectively convey the awesomeness of which I was in and around and upon. Highlights: Heather and I getting the keys to our [...]

House hunting (is over)
Heather and I got a place!!! We put a deposit down last night and I’m moving in June 15th. Woop woop. Super huge place in Belmont Shore/Heights area. Dang huge place. With a garage (studio space!!!) We are really looking forward to the process of hand picking our furniture. And we are really looking forward [...]

Ride a horse to school
I’ve been thinking about how I would be living my life pre-automobile lately. How long would it take me to get to work if I had to ride a horse? What kind of work would I be doing? I heard about a high schooler in Tennessee who has been riding his horse to school lately. [...]

…ahem
WE BUILT THIS CITY WHILE LISTENING TO ROCK AND ROLL, IN OUR HEADPHONES. WE ALL LISTENED TO THE SAME SONG THOUGH. IT WAS AWESOME. IN A SENSE, WE BUILT THIS CITY WITH A BEAT, A COMMON BEAT; BEATING AWAY AT OUR SENSITIVE EAR TISSUE, SO THAT ONE DAY WE WILL WAKE AND REMEMBER THAT WE [...]

Pulling things behind vehicles
Not exactly sure why I found this delightful and amusing – more exploration needed.

house hunting
House hunting is fun, hard, frustrating, exciting, etc… The biggest bummer is when Heather and I find a totally radical place and it’s way over our budget. How rad is this place in the picture below? The space on the top floor on the right has that big circular balcony/patio thingy! So cool. 1st St. [...]

habits
I have a habit of sending the Hobosoul brothers links that relate to the stuff that they are doing these days. I do this because I like how they write; they are better story tellers than I (in written form) Vern just wrote up this little “zinger” about an artist that I found the other [...]

politricks
I’m not one to get caught up in the fury of all the politics of the upcoming election. And I’m not one to vocally express my opinion one way or the other. However, after seeing the video posted below, I can firmly say that if you vote for Senator McCain, I will be very bummed [...]

Score!
Craigslist is a gem of cosmic wonder. Some sign company in Santa Ana posted in the Free section a bunch of of silkscreens. They had a room full of about 250 of them. I went by and got as many as I could fit in my truck (33). Stoked! That saves me a lot of [...]

Saturday in the Park (2)
The We Love Long Beach event was spectacular this past Saturday. I have pretty radical tank top sunburn lines. We were all very pleased at the response to our community painting project. I often feel like art can take the form of elitism or exclusivity when presented in a gallery or a museum. Galleries and [...]
